Dog Lover and Outdoor Adventurer!
Pet care experience
I have been raised taking care of dogs, cats, and horses. I have dog sat and walked dogs for family and friends for over 15 years. I have experience walking dogs for the humane society and have experience working with my own dog for the Good Canine Citizenship certificate and Pet Partners therapy work. I am very familiar with puppies/kittens, adult pets, and elderly animals as well!
Reviews
Shelby did a fantastic job taking care of the pups. Our pups loved her instantly. She even was able to do a last minute adjustment and was very accomidating. Highly recommend.
Shelby was responsive and went above and beyond. Would recommend! Our animals were well cared for and we appreciated her daily updates.
Super responsive, my dog seems happy.
Shelby is a wonderful and responsible person. She has pets of her own and is very amazing on how she both trains them and loves them. I know she would make a wonderful caregiver to any family pet.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My pets are cared for like family members and yours would be as well. I am a firm believer in socialization and training for my personal pets. I am dedicated to providing enjoyable, safe, and loving environments to all pets. I am happy to walk your dog or play with your cat to meet their needs, whether it be a sauntering sniff walk or a fast paced set of zoomies to release pent up energy!
Information Shelby D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you have a reactive or nervous dog. I am happy to walk dogs that require more special attention, however these dogs have specific needs that need to be met for their safety and the safety of others. I am also happy to walk younger puppies or non-leash trained dogs. However, in this case I would require pet owners to provide kibble or treats for their pet to help keep them engaged during our walk and let me know if they have any known allergies.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for walks around their local neighborhood! I personally love taking dogs for walks around the Port Gamble Heritage Trails, or even for sniff walks close to home. I often play recall games and fetch with my own dog, and alternate between quick and slow walks to keep a casual in town walk fun and engaging.
